Known fuse and Electrical issue

[Jpowerwagon22]

Hi,

I’ve been following a lot of these posts and threads about fuses (not being fully seated) and electrical issues with the power Wagon.
So my main issues are:

Cluster lights will turn on and off throughout the night, leaving me with a dead battery by morning. Any advise or resolution?

I’ve checked fuses, wiring, brand new battery and alternator is fine.

Second issue: my interior (above dash) have not been working. Randomly they will flicker.

Checked fuses and wiring as well.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cluster lights wont kill the battery overnight usually i would recommend doing a parasitic draw test to see how much amperage you are drawing with the truck off after about 10 mins after connecting the meter you should see the amperage at no more than 85Ma

Your second issue might be the cause of your first issue. If your cluster keeps repeating a cycle of waking up and turning off, that means there is an issue with another module, and it keeps waking every other module up, causing about a 4.5 amp draw constantly.

What exactly above the interior dash isn’t working?

Thank you for the response. The 2 overhead lights in the cab. The back cab light works, but those ones haven’t worked in about a month.
I checked the fuse and it seems to be fine.

Those aren’t priority, but I’d like to figure out what’s killing my battery.

I’ll look into the parasitic draw test this evening.

Thank you! I’m going to try that later this evening.
